Embodiment Construction

[0025]Referring to FIG. 1 of the drawings, a section of a crane rail 1 is shown in the operating position. The crane rail 1 is designed, in particular, in the form of a travel rail for suspended crabs, preferably suspended monorail crabs. The crane rail 1 features a bottom flange 2 in the form of a hollow profile, a top flange 3 that is also in the form of a hollow profile, as well as a support flange 4 that is again in the form of a hollow profile. The bottom flange 2 is connected to the top flange 3 by a web 5. The connection between the support flange 4 and the upper side of the top of flange 3 is produced with the aid of a web 6.

[0026]The crane rail 1 consists of an endless roll-formed sheet steel strip, the strip edges of which are designated by reference symbols 7 and 8. Due to the roll-forming, the hollow bottom flange 2 is includes a bottom wall 9 that transitions into side walls 11 and 12 at its edges. The bottom wall 9 is planar and extends horizontally in the operating st...

Abstract

Disclosed is a crane rail made from a roll-formed steel sheet strip. Said crane rail altogether comprises a top flange and a bottom flange. A support flange that has a triangular cross-section is additionally embodied on the top flange. The edges of the steel strip are laser-welded to the web.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This patent application is the national phase of PCT / EP2007 / 009684, filed Nov. 8, 2007, which claims the benefit of German Patent Application No. 102006054682.2, filed Nov. 17, 2006.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to crane rails for suspended crabs.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Travel rails for suspended crabs are made from roll-formed sheet steel for cost and weight reasons. One example of such a travel rail is described in DE 41 19 868 A1. The rail forms a hollow bottom flange and a hollow top flange that are connected to one another by a web. The web is configured as a single piece with one-half of the hollow top flange and one-half of the hollow bottom flange situated thereunder. The other halves of the top flange and the bottom flange consist of two individual roll-formed sheets that are then correctly positioned and joined to the part containing the web. These parts are then welded together.[00...
